“No one will protect what they don't care about; and no one will care about what they have never experienced.” — Sir David Attenborough
Santa & the Owls
Over 90 festive minutes, children can become Santa’s elves, make a toy in his workshop, meet Santa/Sion Corn and enjoy a Christmas-themed owl flying show. Each session welcomes no more than 12 families, giving you time to settle in, enjoy the activities together and make some lovely Christmas memories.
The entire experience takes place indoors, so the weather won’t get in the way of the magic. You’re also welcome to explore the Centre before or after your session. We’re open as usual, with birds to visit in their enclosures and food and drinks available at Café Peckish.
Additional support
We want everyone to feel comfortable and enjoy their visit with Santa/Sion Corn. If there’s anything we can do to make your experience easier, please let us know before you come. We know Christmas events can sometimes feel overwhelming; the first and last sessions of the day are usually quieter, and we can arrange specific seating for the show on request.
